"INC LEFT" That is not a good way to call INCs

People who pvp a lot understand that left and right directions are typically referring to the positions on the map as you are oriented on it from the start. When people say "move up" you don't sit there and scratch your head, do you?

Not a bad idea..

"Spawn Left" can be established as left coming out the spawn area, without question. Or least amount of questioning.

I personally like to confuse people who talk in General chat. If they call out mid or left, I yell that we need help at another point lol. Lots of fun. Left side is always the turret the far left speeder will take you to if you own that turret. Same with right.
So the Sun rises in the West and sets in the East for South America? Good to know!

No, prime would be point number one which is also subjective, especially since I'm also left handed and would thus insist upon it being the left point.

I prefer to call out, "The imperial knaves are beseiging the point betwixt the primary and tertiary nodes!" It's so much faster to say and easier to understand.

If the game allowed macros, I would totally bind that text to one of my keys

East and west are bad because people rarely think in terms of cardinal directions. But if some one says left you immediately know which direction to look since people are trained from birth for left and right because of arms.

I would like to see someone pull out a compass on the Voidstar and try to find out West vs East. Good luck with that... Let me know if you ever figure out why it doesnt work.

Man you work fast. I was about to go edit that out because I realized I was wrong but you already posted so it's immortalized with your damn quote. Since I was just mentally picturing everything I realized I imagine everything from spawn (As you should).
